Meteor

The Orionid meteor shower will reach its peak on October 21, 2024, offering stargazers the chance to witness up to 23 meteors per hour, as Earth travels through debris left by Halley's comet. This annual event runs from September 26 to November 22, showcasing some of the year’s brightest and fastest meteors, travelling at about 41 miles per secon...

A recent study led by Quanzhi Ye, an astronomer at the University of Maryland, reveals that the Taurid Meteoroid Complex, a debris stream linked to past Earth impacts, poses less danger than previously thought. Ye's team found fewer large asteroids in the stream, reducing the risk of a catastrophic collision with Earth. While these findings offer r...

The Draconid Meteor Shower will peak on October 8 and 9, offering a chance to spot meteors shooting across the night sky. Named after the constellation Draco, the shower is known for its variable meteor count, with skywatchers able to see up to 10 meteors per hour. The radiant point of the shower lies in the northern sky, and unlike other meteor sh...

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will today resign as Chief Minister of Delhi after a meeting with Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena this afternoon, paving the way for party leader Atishi to take over the top post.

Experts now believe the suspicious pit may be a massive crater created by an ancient meteor.

Rocky debris from NASA's asteroid deflection mission is hurtling towards Earth and is expected to create the human-made meteor shower known as the Dimorphids within the next 13 years, scientists have predicted.

The collision between the asteroid Dimorphos and DART spacecraft generated a massive debris field, estimated to be around 2 million pounds of rocks and dust.

A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii...

The shower is expected to produce around 50-75 meteors per hour at its peak, with the possibility of fireballs and meteors with long trains.

The Perseid meteor shower will peak on the night of August 11-12, 2024, offering viewers in northern Europe and North America a chance to see around 100 meteors per hour.

Having two meteor showers peak within 24 hours of each other is "a little bit unusual," Moskovitz said.

Good news for the sky gazers, a rare celestial event is about to take place this month.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with a Snapdragon X Elite chip has beat Apple's M3-powered MacBook Air in some benchmark tests according to a third-party firm's report. The new Surface Laptop 7 also beat a laptop running on Intel's Meteor Lake CPUs and a Surface Pro 9 with an SQ3 chip.

Intel Lunar Lake CPUs are coming as the successors to the company's Meteor Lake chips in Q3 2024, and the next-generation chips are expected to deliver a big improvement in AI performance. The chipmaker has announced that the upcoming Intel Lunar Lake chips will offer support for a 40+ TOPS NPU and over 60 GPU TOPS for a cumulative 100+ platform TO...

Meteors are space rocks and other materials that burn up as they fall through Earth's atmosphere, leaving behind bright streaks in the sky.
